Although meant to simply be an example, having a concrete version in the Debian package install instructions proved to be problematic from multiple standpoints, including: 1. It made it easy for users to download an outdated version. 2. It was not updated when package naming conventions changed. This change replaces versions with a link to the latest release/a placeholder for the package path for users to fill in after downloading.
